Polski Fiat 508 III type 108 passenger car

On 21 September 1931, the National Engineering Works, the largest pre-war automotive manufacturing enterprise, signed a license agreement with the Italian Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino company. This resulted in the establishment of the Polski Fiat joint-stock company, within the framework of which the Polish party, in exchange for know-how, committed to creating a network of service stations and repair workshops for Fiat and Polski Fiat cars. Between 1935-39, production of the Polski Fiat 508 was launched under a license agreement, and in 1936 it was given the commercial name “Junak”. Even though the advertising slogan for the new car read “the most economical of the comfortable ones, the most comfortable of the economical ones”, at a price of 7200 złotys the vehicle was a luxury item, available only to a few.
